democrats did not share america's economic urgency. in my opinion, we would deserve to lose more seats. however, that is not the case. when i look at the members of our caucus, i see the urgency every day in the debate, in the eyes of our members, in their stories about their constituents every weekend. they talk to them throughout their communities. as we took our oaths of one year ago, we knew that things were not right in america -- when we took our oaths one year ago. families forced to leave their homes we saw it in small businesses laying off workers in the face of falling sales and rising health-care bills. we knew things were not right when our middle class had been running just to stand still for over a decade, and we knew that something was not right in a political culture that thrives for too long on easy choices, on the philosophy of deficits do not matter. publicly or personally. the entitlements, wars, and tax cuts for the privileged, all paid for with borrowed cash to be paid back by our children. for six years, a republ

that is what america believes in. that is the vision that is far more powerful than the hatred of these extremists. here at home, we will strengthen our defenses, but we will not succumb to a siege mentality that sacrifice is the open society and liberties we cherish as americans. because great and proud nations do not hide behind loss of suspicion and mistrust. that is exactly what our adversaries want, and so long as i am president, we will never hand them that victory. we will define the character of our country. not some small man intent on killing innocent men and women and children. that involves every american and every elected official can do our part. instead of giving into division, let's move forward with optimism and unity that defines us as a people. now is not a time for partisanship. it is a time for citizenship. a time to work together. that is what it means to be strong in the face of violent extremism. that is how we will prevail in this fight. and that is how we will protect our country and pass it
